How do port man pages get into https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?
Hi, I maintain at least one port that installs a man page that doesn't show up in https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi. Also, there seem to be cases where man pages of ports are outdated (e.g., https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248927 was opened today, the man page of the port in question was fixed on May 3rd 2020). Is there any documentation explaining how port man pages are generated for man.cgi and how frequently they're updated? Like, are they taken from binary packages every few months or are they maybe created from the ports tree that's current at the time of a release (so "FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE and Ports" contains man pages based on https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/12.1-RELEASE/ports.txz)?

One way would be to extract man pages from the binary packages we
provide - this would allow to have man pages for head and quarterly
branches. This could be implemented as a poudriere feature while
building (so it collects man pages as a side effect of bulk builds), or
based on the artifacts/binary package produced by poudriere. The former
would probably be more elegant and less resource intensive, but also
more intrusive.
Naive implementation:
Get list of man pages:
find /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/121amd64-default/All/ \
-name "*.txz" -exec tar -tf {} /usr/local/man 2>/dev/null \;
Extract man pages to /tmp/manpages:
find /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/121amd64-default/All/ \
-name "*.txz" -exec tar \
-C /tmp/manpages \
--strip-components 4 \
-xf {} \
/usr/local/man 2>/dev/null \;
Test if it works:
MANPATH=/tmp/manpages man XGrabButton
Cheers,
Michael

How does it actually create the pages though? E.g., the man page paperless(7) created by deskutils/py-paperless [0] still isn't available over man.cgi, even though the port was created a long time before 12.1 was released and is in 12.1's ports.txz.

poudriere complains of "Duplicated origin" for a couple of ports
Hi, Where would I report an issue with "Duplicated origin" causing poudriere bulk -a to fail? I temporarily got around the problem by manually deleting the problematic ports from the downloaded ports tree. These were: lang/ocaml-nox11 misc/mc-nox11 ports tree is head@546297 basically do I make a PR to the maintainers of these ports or does someone else look after the ports tree itself? thanks -- J. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
